Yes, but it may take a while.

 

 

That drop had better correct itself this weekend or it may not.

[CoolioD1]

i thought it was just really boring tbh. after about the 4th hour of watching jc get whipped i was kinda done with it.

[lilmac]

It wasn't meant to entertain

[CoolioD1]

i guess it wasn't meant to be interesting either.

It's interesting to those that already care deeply about the subject.

I'm not offended by it, but I believe it's soulless and lacks the passion stated in the title. It's more about showing him be beaten than showing why he was beaten. There's to much put into the physical detail that it misses the emotional and thematic detail.I personally have found Mel Gibson to be a fairly weak director in this regard, his movies tend to be more about the one dimension physical layers of grand events, and don't really go much further. His best movie (Braveheart) was good because it combined the grand events with the emotional depth and complex why's that went with the epic how.

 

Mel Gibson is an excellent director.  Braveheart and Apocalypto are masterpieces.  Its shame he'll never get to do that Viking movie equivalent of Apocalypto that hes dreamed of doing since he was kid because of his PR problems from his personal life.

Three weeks ahead of its U.S. debut, 'Rio 2' opened to $10.4 million in Russia and Ukraine

I'm honestly surprised people would think of going to the movies in the Ukraine but perhaps it gives a sense of normalcy

I would love to see a Book of Revelation adaption by Mel Gibson.

The closest big screen adaptation of "Book of revelation" to date.

 

 

The movie is complete and total mind-fuckery, and makes very little sense to anyone who isn't high while watching it. The movie pauses to give us a Justin Timberlake music video

I just watched The Book Thief.  That movie deserved more attention and acclaimed, it was so well made and emotionally powerful.

If I had a million matchsticks I would burn every copy of Southland Tales I can find.

[Dementeleus]

SOUTHLAND TALES is great. A total mess, but great.

Only Richard Kelly Joint I've seen remains The Box.

Southland Tales doesn't make any sense. 0.

When the most impressive numbers this weekend comes from God's Not Dead.

When the most impressive numbers this weekend comes from God's Not Dead.

 

Personally, I feel that the Divergent numbers are pretty impressive. It has held better over the weekend than most YA adaptations, and has grossed 25M more than the first 3 days of the last 4 YA adaptations combined (Mortal Instruments, The Host, Vampire Academy and Beautiful Creatures, they managed 31.3M combined).
